Age (statement): I am at least 30 years old as of the date that I post this. As I value my RL privacy I would prefer to not state my actual age publicly as it can be used to narrow down a real identity; if absolutely required I'll reply to a mod about further details.
Current Country: USA
How you found us: I was asking if anyone knew of Continuum servers, since most of my friends that used to play Minecraft have moved on.
History - Bans: To the best of my knowledge, I have never been banned from a Minecraft server.
History - Age: I do usually leave off things like the month and day of month (or substitute other values) when applying to services which might misuse my data; I've been more than old enough for that to not matter in legal contexts (which is all that value should be //required// by) for a good while. Technically that's lying. I'd prefer if there were anonymous cryptographic methods which could be used to validate 'of age' without revealing any other personal information.

How I got in to Minecraft:
Years ago, it was one of the few games that actually ran on Linux. I bought it because I both wanted a game to play (it seemed like my type of game) and because I felt the need to justify (to myself) the graphics hardware I was buying at the time in the hope of supporting hundreds of open tabs. While I grew bored of Minecraft around the end of the Beta period, a friend introduced me to modded in the early 'release' days. I remember having shell scripts that unpacked, modified, and re-packed the mods in to the .jar file... It was annoying getting even a couple mods to work together and block ID conflicts had to be manually resolved... those days were the bad old days
I also have tended to run my own servers or use a different tech savvy friend's server. Though I have played on better known public servers before (IIRC it was called Nishcraft at the time, I wanted to see how well the bucket based mod server worked - there were some bugs based on how it implemented support for mods doing things, and the pipes I preferred (Redpower) ended up having back-stuffing issues that I only found out about well after everyone moved on).
Favorite Mods:
Since 1.7 I generally prefer to have at least one of (in alphabetical order) EnderIO, Immersive Engineering, Thermal * (the suite) in a mod pack; IE needing to also have at least one other mod that moves items around. If I had to be pinned down on one //mod// for Minecraft though it would be Forge Mod Loader, since it and Forge (with the underpinning of the even lower modding tools that I can't recall the names of offhand) have helped to banish the worst of the bad old days to the past.Real Life:
I like to get in to Minecraft to escape from the less achievable things in real life. -
Hello mjevans,
